Today's Smoke 2016

I believe age can make a substantial difference with these cigars... these are from 2010, and from a taste standpoint, 5 years seem to be the magic number...
Mine are BTO SEP 12. Can't believe I haven't smoked one, yet.
 
Short Story Maduro
LA Aurora 100 Años Lancero

I'm not used to having to wear a jacket to smoke in So Cal. This El Niño thing has the weather all messed up.
 
First cigar of the year was my first Opus X. Given the price and semi-rarity of these cigars, I was a bit underwhelmed.

Speaking of heaters, that's on my must purchase list. The warm weather spell spoiled me. I've been freezing and it's still in the 40's.

Those damn things are hit or miss for me. Only a couple have ever made my ears perk. Perfection No. 2 seems to be my sweet spot. Unfortunately given the fact there are so many in the line, a second job may be in order for most to sample them all.
 
Some unbanded smoke that was given to my by my vendor. I think it was an Espinosa pre-release. A toro. It was pretty good. Need to see if he remembers which line it came from. It easily had a a couple of years on it.
 
Last day of break before classes start back up plus my B-Day so decided to start the day of with a Monte #4 with morning coffee. After lunch had a Punch Punch from 05. Finished the evening off with one of my last E.D. 109's from the first release. Not a bad day at all.

Very nice! And... Happy Birthday!

I've definitely had better Opus X... But as long as this one was, good thing it wasn't stronger.
